Early in the night it sits low under the conversation, and later it starts the party, with Andy Abra moving between the two as the room asks. Johnny Cash is the specialty, sung in a big, deep voice by a country blues and roots singer who plays both acoustic and electric guitar and writes his own songs as well. Hank Williams, Tom Waits, Slim Dusty, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Steve Earle are among the others he covers, with Flight of the Conchords and Redgum in there too. Book him solo or as a duo, where a loop pedal fills the sound out, or bring in his Big River Band to carry the whole wedding night. Based in Wollombi in NSW, he's a natural fit for a couple who want old school outlaw country and blues running through their day.
Watch Andy Abra perform and get a feel for their sound, style and fit for your wedding.

Mellow enough to sit behind conversation early on, and capable of turning a room into a party later. Andy Abra shifts between the two rather than picking one and staying there. Playing solo or as a duo he runs a loop pedal, stacking parts until it sounds like more players than are actually standing there. He's fussy about the sound, which shows in the gear he uses and the musicians he brings along.
He brings his own PA. What he'd rather have from you is cover over the performance spot, because gear and weather don't mix and an unexpected shower can end a set early.
Johnny Cash is the specialty, and it's the reason plenty of people book him. His own original songs sit alongside those. The rest of the list pulls from old country, blues and roots: Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Slim Dusty, John Williamson, Tom Waits, John Prine, Steve Earle, Justin Townes Earle, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Corb Lund and Tim McGraw. Then a rootsier, more modern side with Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Zac Brown Band, Old Crow Medicine Show, Patty Griffin and The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, Chris Whitley and Lonnie Mack round it out, plus Redgum and Flight of the Conchords for a change of pace.
Three sizes: solo, duo, or the full Big River Band. The solo and duo shows lean on the loop pedal for depth, and the band is there when you want the whole thing at full weight.
